How?

Do you get your mind to stop? I am having trouble sleeping tonight. I am tired, but I can't stop thinking long enough to go to sleep. It seems like so many horrible things have happened lately. I work with children every day, and the Connecticut tragedy breaks my heart. When I think about this horrific event, I see all the smiling faces I see every day. I just can't understand it.

I know I am one of many sending prayers to everyone involved. I wrote this earlier on Facebook:

I'm thankful I'm at home with my kids and trying to teach them to wrap presents! I cannot imagine what the families in Connecticut are going through. I wouldn't have been able to go home to look at my child's presents under the tree, knowing they would never get to unwrap them. Many prayers to them!

Shawn's grandad is in the hospital and I am sending prayers to him as well.

Sorry this is so somber, but I imagine I'm not the only one feeling this way.

God Bless!
